Junior Achievement of Utah inducted Katharine B. Garff, of Garff Enterprises, into the Utah Business Hall of Fame in April 2025 at JA City in Salt Lake City.

It was an honor to induct Kathi Garff into our Utah Business Hall of Fame and to celebrate her tremendous contributions to our community. Kathi’s enduring commitment to helping young people realize their potential and her passion for strengthening communities makes her incredibly deserving of this recognition. Kathi was joined by laureates Scott Anderson, Bill Child, Wilford Clyde, Charles Dahlquist, Gail Miller, Ray Pickup, and Ron Jibson who served as the honorary chairperson. All of our laureates demonstrate business excellence, courageous thinking and acting, inspired leadership, and community-mindedness. These icons of business are exemplary role models for future generations.

Originally, the Utah Business Hall of Fame was established in 1990 by Junior Achievement of Utah to recognize past and present business leaders for their outstanding and enduring efforts to improve the products, processes, and human relations of business. One of our most critical objectives with the Hall of Fame event is to provide our young people with a better understanding of who the true heroes of Utah are, thus giving these young minds notable examples to emulate.
